I have a report that has 4 sub reports in it. The report prints for certain people based on the record selection in the main report. most of the sections in the main report and sub reports suppress based on some database fields. The main report and a couple of the sub reports have personal information on them. When the report ran last week the main report looked fine. It had the peoples correct information on it and suppresed the sections like it was supposed to. The sub reports didn't print any personal informtion and didn't suppress the sections like they were supposed to. It just printed every section in the sub reports. I have the report set up to run at a certain time every week. last week it gave me the bogus informtion but this week it worked perfectly fine.

Does anyone know why this may have occured?

Thanks
 
We don't have enough information to assess what's going on.

I agree with LB. What does "bogus information" mean?

Also, why are you suppressing data instead of excluding it from your report entirely with a record selection formula? Suppressing data can always cause problems if you are not careful, especially with subreports involved.

In Crystal, formulas that suddenly don't work have often hit a null value. Null will stop any formula unless you first test for IsNull.
